Play Paintball


For something a little different while you're in Malta, you can try your hand at paintballing. Get a group of people together and practise your shooting skills with a heart racing game of paintballing.

To the uninitiated, Paintball is a sport in which participants eliminate opponents from play by hitting them with paintballs (spherical gelatine capsules containing primarily polyethylene glycol, other non-toxic and water-soluble substances, and dye) shot from a compressed-gas-powered "marker" or gun. Paintball attracts a wide array of players and insurance statistics estimate that over 10 million people regularly play what is statistically one of the safest sports in existence, incredibly even more so than tennis.

It is a good way to release some of that holiday energy and experience the fun and exhilaration of a game designed to play out many of those childhood fantasies. Challenge your opponents to a battle demanding both skill and stealth as you feel the excitement of charging forward to complete your mission.

To create a totally original experience, games are conducted at the Malta Film Studios using the sets of films, such as U571 and Gladiator. All games are fully supervised and controlled by paintball referees. All participants are given detailed instructions before taking part and provided with the appropriate protective clothing and head guard as well as paint-launchers and paint pellets.

Can you think of a better way of spending a few hours than firing paint at your mates? We can't.
